How will Montessori students adjust to more traditional school structures?
The key to the success on an adjustment or change is self-confidence. Our classrooms are set up with beautifully crafted materials, each one designed specifically to build a child’s confidence. Instead of memorizing the formula for the Pythagorean Theorem, our materials allow students to explore the relationship of the sides of right-angled triangles and actually discover the relationship for themselves. Because the students discover this knowledge on their own, the student gains a tremendous amount of confidence in his own abilities. Word problems become clearer. Other formulas are easier t understand. Mathematics is fun! Strengthened with this confidence in their own abilities, our students adjust well to any type of school structure.
